There are a lot of variables here that you may not understand and that he may not yet understand in himself, psychologically, sociologically, etc.

Although you haven't disclosed your race (and it really doesn't matter), you should read Black Haze by Ricky Jones. It's a good first step to understanding the hows and whys of hazing, and it's my belief that there are similarities there among all organizations or chapters which haze.

Full disclosure: I wrote a novel called Lazarus which also deals with this topic. Although it is out of print, used copies are available through Amazon.
